git describe from the Make files state fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything. #1609
Description
/kind bug
/area provider/ibmcloud
What steps did you take and what happened:
A few targets that use git describe seem to complain of fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything..
What did you expect to happen:
No warnings or errors.
Anything else you would like to add:
This can be fixed with --always along with git describe, which will default to the latest commit hash. However, this seems to break a few of the commands which tend to accept ldflags, such as make docker-build. Thus, the necessary changes are needed to ensure the existing functionality offered.
